Vanadium Amino Acid Chelate

Vanadium amino acid chelate is a chelated trace-mineral ingredient in which vanadium is bound to amino acids, typically glycine, supplied by Nustras as a powder and used as a vanadium source in trace-mineral supplements and premixes. Vanadium is a transition metal that occurs at very low levels in foods; in chelated form it is handled and blended as a stable, free-flowing powder.

It is formulated into trace-mineral and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, into sports-nutrition formulations, and into mineral premixes. Because the amount of vanadium per serving is very small, the chelate is normally incorporated through a premix or trituration on a food-grade carrier to ensure uniform distribution in the finished blend.

The material is a fine powder, off-white to pale coloured depending on the vanadium content. Vanadium content, amino acid content, loss on drying and chelation are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and assay by elemental analysis (ICP), and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies vanadium amino acid chelate in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. The regulatory status of vanadium as a supplement ingredient differs between markets; buyers confirm the permitted form, elemental-vanadium level and labelling for their application.
